 * [BIBIO] has made very perceptive observations on this track, and some others:
 ** On colours: [BIBIO] notes that the "yellow" in "[[Alpha And Omega]]" seems to repeat continuously at a lower volume; that "[[Music Is Math]]" has a faint voice which could be saying "purple", and that playing the end section at half-speed results in what sounds like "red" being repeated. With the "orange" in "[[Aquarius]]", they might be trying to cover the range of rainbow colours.
-** Repeated allusions to flying (in this and other albums): an aeroplane drone in an eagle in your mind; corsair as a type of plane; comments about going to high altitudes for inspiration; "[[Kid_For_Today|Kid For Today]]" possibly containing a looped aeroplane drone throughout the track; an interview picture of [[Boards of Canada|BoC]] in an airfield with planes ("the secret life of [[Boards of Canada]] photo). Also the interactive scenes on the [[Boardsofcanada.com|BoC website]]: the introductory scene is of aeroplane contrails, and many of the other interactive scenes are flight simulators."[[Chinook]]" is a kind of helicopter, among other things.

 * [Leo B] pointed out that the second occurrence of the phrase is at 2:16 in the track. 216 = 6×6×6. Given all the other references of this kind (such as the album length of 66'06" (666), it is at least plausible that this is no coincidence). However, see below on whether the time IS 66'06".
